Ebel 1911 DISCOVERY CHRONOGRAPH

Montblanc Limited Edition Star Nicolas Rieussec Monopusher Chronograph
Press release - dedicated to the inventor of the first "writer time" for the first of its own first-calibre, Montblanc has created a chronograph of historic proportions, the name of the inventor of the chronograph: Nicolas Rieussec, who, in 1821, developed a watch with rotating dials in which an ink marker attached to the fixed index wrote the downtime. For the first time, this has allowed the time finishing of individual horses at horse of the time. The invention was considered as so ingenious that it gave the chronograph its name: "chronos" for the time and "graphein" to "writing". Technique of Rieussec of two rotating disks has inspired the new Montblanc Star Nicolas Rieussec Monopusher Chronograph, and this has been integrated in a unique masterpiece of chronographic watchmaking with barrels of binoculars and a 72 hours power reserve.

Patek Philippe Manufacturing Process has the best quality control
Not really my cup of tea that I prefer A Lange, AP or Breguet when it comes to Visual appeal for that kind of money, but I appreciate the craft and the history of the brand.Probably the best quality control in the industry.

"Incoming" d¨¦¡¤j¨¤ vu Rolex...!!!
Just want to share my story with my fellowship & members here on TRF...I remember the exact look of the first Rolex that I try on at the AD 25 years ago.....I turn it down because I was aiming for a Daytona Zenith at that time .......Lately I been eyeing on the first Rolex that I try on but never met my spec because.....They either been all beat up, over polish case or over polish bezel that lose all the sharpness and detail of the numbers...Most of them not even a complete set....Finally found it with all my spec requirements such as complete set, non polish, oyster bracelet, white face stick dial tritium and matching hands...A rare find for me, NOS complete set with a bonus sticker still on the watch and plus blank open name & date on the warranty paper with AD name on it......Wear large than I expect for a 7.3 inch wrist.... Maybe because of the over size bezel.....It a great SS sport dress watch in my opinion....
